Holidaymakers heading away to property in Spain have been reminded that the same product could cost different amounts in different shops or restaurants.

Bob Atkinson, travel expert at travelsupermarket.com, explains that any prediction of the cost of, for example, a cup of coffee is only ever an estimate.

On arrival at property in Spain, travellers may find "you can go to one place in Spain and it can be dirt cheap and another place in Spain can be really expensive".

Mr Atkinson adds, however, that some research ahead of departure can identify which areas are among the cheaper.

In case anything prevents the holidaymaker from making the most of these lower-cost regions, he also recommends having a back-up source of funding.

This could be extra cash, or a debit or credit card; he advises holidaymakers to decide for themselves what best suits their needs and how they will repay any extra expenditure on their return to the UK.
